Tho conductor was evidently a man with a keen eye for dra matis situations, and" was will ing to make tho best of his op portunities. When ho had gath ered niot of the men at the smoking end of the ear, he told them the story of the fellow passenger. "That gentleman there,'1 he nitl, "is .Mr. Kuftis W. (Jale, of Xcw York, lie is a man wiio hits nhvnys been devoted to hunting, and he is lucky enough to hnvu both the time and mon ev to ("ratify his tastes. Ho has been (low u in the everglades of Florida all tho winter indulging in his favorite pastime. About a month ago he started North, but hearing there was good ntMirt to bo had in Liberty conn-! tv, Cieorgia, he determined to lmvo oho more hunt before hi. closed the season. He wont over to Dorchester and had his hunt; since that day he has been in his prosunt condition. He told the story of what hap-j poucd to him once, and the tell ing of it niTcctcd him so badly that ho has never been allowed to repeat it, though it is evi dently on his mind all the time. When Mr. Gale had been in Dorchester several days, a ne gro reported having seen two deer on the borders of the .Xlid wus iwiiiip. He determined to have n shot at them it hpito of all advice to the contrary. The gentleman with whom ho was stopping told him that the .Mid way swamp was a dangerous place, ten miles bioad and one hundred ami- lift milt s !on:, infested with snat.es; he toM him how, before the war, shiver, had run away and hidden in it, and would coiuo out and give themselves up bufore they would stay there; he told him to bo in tho swamp after dark, was sud den death to a white man. Hut all this had no o fleet on .Mr. gale; he was determined to go there and hunt those deer. Ivir ly the next morning he started with his two dogs for the place whero they had been seen. He found that it 'was impossible to get through the underbrush on hoi'eeback, so he tied his hoio to a tree. Before long the (logo struck the trail, and their bay ing echoed and ro-ecliood among i tho great trees. The trail evi - i dently ran into the .walnp, but ' the bitying of the dogs were sot excited that he felt sure that they were close to the animal they were in pursuit of, and fol low'cd the sounds without think ing of whero he was lu'Ing led. Suddenly tho baying stopped and then he hurried forward he hoard the bounds of a desperate ( eonlliit. As he drew nearer ho' heard the dog growling sa age ly,giving occasionally yells of pain. Thinking no "deer could eatuo such n commotion, he be gun to advance more cautiously ; all tho noise of the light stopped entirely, and ho ki,ow that some J thing mid happened. Finally, nu ttn Innt'.wl int fi-i-iltl 1 141 1 1 lli I the tree, he realized what had ..i I c,....l....l .... il...l IHKiii piucii. nuuivuun uii iiiu grouudwas the lnvly of his fa vorite dog, uud on toj of it rvu ding and tearing its llcah, was a tiig panther In-tlung In suloiho had the nerve to keep per with his long tail; a little way olT lay the other dog completely disetubowlcd in the last agonies of death. Two bullets from .Mr. tilde's title settled the panther, and then advanced into the little open space where the light had tnlicn place. After burying his dogs and skinning the panther, he looked about to see what di tto! ion he should take to get back to his horse. While he was busy with the 'panther heavy clouds had rolled up, and now "tho sun was hidden so that he felt some doubt as to the di lution he should take; he thought however, that he know tin; way he came, so he struck out brnbely enough for home. Uefore he had gone very far he found the ground getting tofter nud became convinced that he was going in the wrong direc tion. Several times he changed his course but all his cllerls seemed only to lead him deeper and deeper into the swamp. Soon it grew dark and the dis tant matteriugs of npprt. aching thunder tilled the air. The deep shadows of the trees added to the darkness nud he began fall ing into the mud nml striking against trees which he was una bio to see. Suddenly with n great renr the storm broke.

The weight j of Ins drenched clothes seemed ; to hold him back, and the fear i of the falling trees drove him on. hvcry instant ho was m ; danger of being struck down and , crurdied. The brunches or trees whit led past him and big pieces ' " hark struck him in the face ; as the force of the wind drove them along. Suddenly something struck him on tho head. He felt him self borne down by an irresista blo weight and lost conscious ness. Whey he came to him self the storm was over; ho could hear tho distant mutter ings of the thunder, but over his head tho stars were shining. Ileside.t him lay the bough of a treo which must have struck him as it foil. Tho deluge of ruin had tilled tho swamp with water, and he found he was ly ing in a pond of water. I'ai'u fully ho rose again began to stagger about in search of a rest ing place. At last the ground under his feet bceamo tinner. Ho had 1 cached a little lite in tlio siMiiup ami fi-il exhausted.

Then on all sides of him he heard a rushing ami hissing, and realized that tho water had driv en all the enakes from their holes, they had sought shelter on this high ground.

Insane with fears he ran on, fortnately in tho right direction, for he was found in the road in n lit by some gentlemen from Dor chester who had gono in search of him.

A HULL IN Al'RICA. Women Left to Die Torture. In Horrible From Inte advices from tho weft coast of Africa it is learned that a most revolting sacrifice has just taken place in the into- nor. t low moiling iiiro uu om were aware that for a short time after tho death of the old king, w"e name nns .unpny mo ju Ju, rites were performed, but were under the impression that these wore now over. The horror of the ICnglish tra ders may bo imagined when they discovered, on their arrival nt lCbo town, that tho hateful relig ious ceremonies were still in full swing. Thoy hnd been going on tor two mouths, and already some unfortunate blacks had been sacrificed to appease "Jti-Jti." On the nrrival of tho traders', tho body of the old king was Htill ly ing in an ohmi grave that bad been dug for it. It was large and deep, large enough to ac commodate nine of the departed ruler'H youngest wives, who had been murdered in the cruel. 6t maimer. Kach of the wives had hnd her ankles and wrists broken so that she could neither walk nor crawl, In this maimed coudit on, ami sudering tho most excruliating pain, tho poor crenturcs were placed at the bottom of the grave, seven of them lying side by tide. The king's body was then laid on them in 11 traverse direction. Thou tho two remaining women were laid by his side. There they were left without food or water to w.iit for their kind lilierator, death, which how ever, did 1 ot cr 111 to their re lease until after four or live days of int. use Htill'ering In tie! nie.iiitinio four or five men were statioi.cd around the grave armed with clubs, ready to knock backward any of the wo men who. ib sjiito their tortures and their p iin, might m.tu'gc to orawl to tho si Ic of the pit. Rut this wan not all. In other parts of tho town other human sacrifices were taking place Sus pended from various trees were the bodies of several men. They too, were undergoing agonizing deaths, holes having, in most cn hoh been lored thn ugh th -ir feet just by the ankles, and through these holes ropes h id been drawn by which the men were lit d to a high tree, head do.uiwnrd, and left to die. The traders were also tinwill- m!" w--c--'(-,,- of another frightful sacrififinl execution. Noticing I 11 iiiiiniiri ui nuuves mu lining in a group, they went to the spot to see whnt was going on. To their horror, the white men snw n na tivo tied by tbo feet and neck. Tho rojo a'ttuched to the neck was thrown over the limb of a tree in one direction, whilo thnt fastcnen to tho feet was tied to a tree in the opposite direction. The ropes were then druwu tight ly, and when tho body was near ly torn asunder a native- with n hntehet struck at the neck, sev ering the head from the body. The head was then thrown in to the grave where the king's corpso was lying, and tho body was eaten by tlio cannibal na tives. TU tarKiVti, w)ivk limp-ai. i bly sb ) ked at these (iemliuh ! practice-!, were jxiwerlcfiii to ntop them, as the natives wottiu noi brook the slightest interferencs with their "jcligiotiH cntoinft'' and such interfetonco would hnvo boon undertaken bv tho trndore nt the peril of their liven.
